Ever since his school days, Munusamy was attracted towards the Tirukkural and soon memorized all the 1330 verses of the Kural literature. With the intention to take it to the common man, he conducted his first public discourse in 1935 at Nootrukkal Mantapam in the Malaikottai neighbourhood of Tiruchi. In 1941, Munusamy conducted the first ever Tirukkural conference in Salem, which was attended by scholars such as Devaneya Pavanar. While staying in Puraisaiwalkam during his college years, he conducted Tirukkural classes and also campaigns holding Kural placards with scholars such as A. K. Paranthamanar, Natesanar, and Vadivelanar. Soon, he conducted a Kural conference in Chennai, which saw the participation of such professors as R. P. Sethupillai, Subramania Pillai, and Rasakannanar.^{[citation needed]}
